"It demonstrates to the American public that the federal government is taking a very proactive and very strong approach toward trying to shore up the economy and the economic pain that’s coming from this," says Professor Grant Reeher. "The idea is that people will spend it and help to regenerate economic activity," he adds. "Consumer spending in recent years has been the single biggest driver in the American economy." Reeher was interviewed for the Sinclair Broadcast Group article "As unemployment claims rise, some question if stimulus plan will do enough." 03/27/20
